[CINC] Unofficial blue whale sightings and more

[Catherine French]

 From just above Carrington Point on Santa Rosa Island saw at least 11 
blue whales feeding in the area. Guessed blue whales based on height of 
spout and when surfaced could make out parts of the whales backs and a 
couple of flukes.

Hundreds of nesting cormorants and a couple thousand CA sea lions, two 
Steller sea lions and a handful of elephant seals on the tar blackened 
rocks. Wind calmed down just enough to see whales. Hope the trip home 
tomorrow allows us to enjoy them closer up!

Calm Seas,
